Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in black beans, cooked rice, cumin, and salt. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Take a corn tortilla, place a portion of the filling in the center, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and roll it up. Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all the enchiladas are in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with any remaining cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired and serve warm.
